[QUOTE="Riastlin, post: 5378096, member: 94022"] [MENTION=75065]jbear[/MENTION]: I agree with the sentiment of having just one clue being a bad thing. Like PC says above, I agree with having three methods of finding any necessary clue. In the infirmary example you gave, maybe the party misses the two drops of blood leading out the west door, so they start searching the rest of the mansion. In another hallway, there's a slight blood smear on the wall. A second hallway features a door with some blood on the handle. In a third location, you find some papers that talk about the "secret laboratory" located behind the fireplace in the dining hall, etc. In other words, if the party misses the initial blood trail, there is a means to pick up the trail elsewhere in the mansion rather than constantly going back to the infirmary and performing Perception checks until somebody hits the magic number.
